Simon Barnes describes the joy of birdwatching, reading in a post from his own blog. ----more----

The Chair of 2020's Keats-Shelley Prize is the writer, journalist and nature writer Simon Barnes - an ideal choice given our Prize theme of Songbird. This marks 200 year anniversaries of John Keats' Nightingale and PB Shelley's Skylark.

We met Simon in London to discuss why (and how) birds sing, how to 'spot' birds and (trickier still) birdsong, their links with Romantic poets in general, and Keats and Shelley in particular, and the many threats to their continued existence.

We are thrilled that Simon has also agreed to Chair 2021's Keats-Shelley Prizes - and complete the work that was interrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic.
